I know a lot of people laugh at and mock the crowd yelling “shooooooot”, but you know, they’ve got a point. Seems we have so many PPs with 0 shots. That 5-3 the other day, they spent the whole minute just passing it around. I’m not going to complain too much as we are at least middle of the pack, but it just feels like we try for pretty goals all the time. Almost averse to garbage goals.

They have no point. No point. Of all the stupid things I hear at a game, “shoooooooooot” is the absolute stupidest. It turns out scoring in the nhl is really hard. Like, you wouldn’t believe how good players are on the opposing team. Some of them are among the best in the world. Because of this, the odds of beating an nhl goaltender on an open clapper from the blueline are almost zero. You also can’t shoot through people and nhl defenders are shockingly good at getting in the way. The other team also puts a lot of effort into retrieving loose pucks on the pk and shooting it down the ice so spraying and praying often isn’t the best strategy.
No, it’s better to trust our players to move the puck around, even if it’s for 32 whole seconds, so they can get the goalie moving and the defenders moving around enough to create an advantageous shot opportunity, where it’s still hard to score, but not as stupidily unlikely as getting high from sniffing a mollusk fart.

Even when, like the other night, the opponent is just clogging the passing lane because they know thats your only move. No second option to shoot from the point and tap in a rebound? No third option to get it to either other guy? Just stubbornly focus on trying to set up that guy at the left face-off dot for the one-timer?
